Cyber Siren
The sea annexed Venice, while a hundred other cities learned what it was like to have canals. Survival in these flooded cities was made possible by the sirens, our subaquatic servitors tasked with scavenging useful materials from the waterlogged streets, rescuing the lost and drowning, and maintaining the submerged foundations of still-inhabited skyscrapers.
My entry in the Biocup 2020 prelims, for the theme of The Future. I can't deny it looks pretty bleak sometimes (I mean, have you seen my 2019 prelims entry?), but this time I wanted to portray something less apocalyptic than ambiguous, where catastrophic challenges inspire human adaptability and innovation. Speaking of which, good luck in the Biocup!
